Telco 2.0 'Roadmap' Report: $375Bn Growth or Brutal Retrenchment?
 Over the last three years, the Telco 2.0 Initiative has identified new business model growth opportunities for telcos of $375Bn p.a. in mature markets alone. In that time, most of the major operators have started to integrate elements of Telco 2.0 thinking into their strategic plans.
In this groundbreaking new 284 page Strategy Report ‘The Roadmap to Telco 2.0 Business Models’, we plot the transformational path that telcos / CSPs need to follow to achieve the 'Telco 2.0' opportunities. It describes:
- six growth opportunity areas for the Telecoms industry;
- new categories of operators based on their potential to adopt the new opportunities;
- the primary strategies needed by each to evolve and thrive in the new industry environment;
- and highlights leading examples of telco business model innovation.
See here for more on the report, join us at the EMEA Executive Brainstorm where we'll be sharing some of the findings, or email contact@telco2.net or call +44 (0) 247 5003 to find out more or book a call with the report authors.
